Janet’s comments from the 2017 Reading Challenge group.

I have finished the challenge. It was lots of fun. I was able to read books that have been on my "To Read" list for a while plus books that I normally wouldn't have considered. I knew I wouldn't have the time to read a book for each category so I challenged myself to find books to would meet more than one category. Thank you to those who put this challenge together.

I've been enjoying the challenge but knew early on that I wouldn't be able to read a book for each category so I'm trying to find books that may fit into more than one category (my personal challenge). This challenge has definitely taken me out of my comfort zone but I've read some great books that I never would have selected if it wasn't for this challenge or the suggestions of other on this site. My "To Read" list continues to grow! As of now, I'm on track to finish by the year end.

Thanks to those who put this challenge together and to those who gave me some great suggestions (even if you didn't realize it).

Happy Reading!

I've read that book and really enjoyed it. I did not know about Louise Brooks. I'll have to look her up. Thanks for the info. It's fun to read books that have true events in them.
